EH-101 Merlin HC.3 Wheels set Scale 1:72 ResKit RS72-0039 for Helicopters Model Kit

ResKit RS72-0039 is a 3D printed resin wheels set for 1/72 EH-101 Merlin builds in the HC.3 configuration. The main upgrade is sharper hub detail and cleaner tire sidewalls, helping the landing gear look more defined on a helicopter where the wheels sit very visible under the sponsons.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

Highly detailed resin parts intended for accurate 1/72 scale aircraft models.

This set is useful when kit wheels look soft around the hub face or have a rounded rim edge that disappears after primer. It also helps keep a consistent stance when you set the model on a flat base for a parked scene.

For modelers: dry-fit the wheels to the gear legs early and check that all contact points touch a flat surface evenly. Prime lightly, paint hubs first, then tires, and re-check the sit before final glue so the model stays level.

FAQ

Will these wheels fit any 1/72 EH-101 Merlin kit?

The set is listed as Any / Universal, but axle and gear leg geometry can vary by kit brand. Dry-fit first and adjust the mounting hole carefully if needed (kit-dependent).

How can I ensure the helicopter sits level?

Test-fit all wheels on the gear legs and place the model on a flat surface before final glue. Let the joints set with the fuselage supported so all wheels keep contact evenly.

Do 3D printed resin wheels need special prep?

Remove supports carefully, wash the parts, and apply a thin primer coat. Light priming helps preserve hub detail in 1/72.
